Hi all,

Does anyone know if possible, how to setup email forwarding on a blueyonder/virginmedia email account. I.e i owuld like to forward all emails that arrive at my blahblah@blueyonder.co.uk account to my yahoo account.

Thanks in advance

If you login to webmail on the Virgin Media website, you will see Options in the left menu, one you click on this you will see a button labeled RULES to the right, clicking this allows you to forward mail to another email address, you also get the options to forward and keep a copy of forward and discard.

That's only for xNTL - xBY can't forward email - there's no rules link.

Set up your email client to receive directly from both accounts.

If that doesn't work, (because you're out and about, say) you can still login to webmail to see all mail that hasn't been collected.

Why do you want this facility? Most email clients can pick up from multiple accounts - and you can even choose to send via any particular account.

i have a blackberry, and would like to forward my blueyonder emails to a yahoo account or my blackberry email account, they will get pushed instantly yo my handheld that way. virgin media obviously doesnt support this but both of these accounts do.

Sorry, I don't know much about blackberries - although I've heard they're excellent pieces of kit.

How do they communicate with Yahoo!?

I have been looking at Blackberry's, as I understand it, you can set it up to collect email from, your Blueyonder account. This is not true push email, but it checks your account every 15 minutes and a copy comes into your phone.

You add an account and then input your Blueyonder details:
username (as on the letter), pop3.blueyonder.co.uk and smtp.blueyonder.co.uk and your password.

This is only guess work from what I have read
